At least they owned up to it pretty much repair and repaint, getting a new bumper is just ridiculous

Those may be plastic fasteners and the brown spot is dirt?

New bumper if the dealer bites and I owned a R8 V10 for a few months and never understood why Audi didn't add a lift option. The nose is surprisingly low.

I'd rather touch it up myself and demand a case of beer than have a claim on my R8. Its the bottom side of the bumper. You are in for a fucking body shop nightmare if you go the new bumper route and its a dealership paying for it.

However, I'd request to bring it to a shop of your choice though. Get a written estimate done, and make sure the dealership approves/pays for it.

This route will also avoid a claim on your R8

Maybe get them to pay for a front lip that might cover it up?

Dealer is willing to repair it, not going through insurance

The dealership has insurance and will use it to pay for the bumper. They are saying it would require a new bumper if they go a certain route. The still have to pay Audi for that part and I bet an r8 bumper isn't cheap. They also likely have to pay a body shop unless they have their own at the dealer.

Get a written estimate done, and make sure the dealership approves/pays for it. | ^ this. i'm honestly a little surprised at how many people would automatically jump to the entire bumper cover being replaced as the best/most logical resolution. it's a plastic bumper cover that's been gouged up. in what world is it logical or realistic to replace the entire bumper?
i do agree with what truenosan said re: getting it done at a shop of your choosing though. bring it to an r8 certified repairer (they aren't a dime a dozen) and get the dealer to foot the entire bill, including a courtesy car for the few days they'll need yours. as long as they're willing to do that, i'd walk away happy if I were OP
fact of the matter is most dealers don't have in house body repairers/painters and sublet any and all bodywork out anyway. only catch is you don't know how reputable the place is, so better off making all those arrangements yourself (despite the inconvenience) if you want to ensure your car is in the best hands (your own)
